<p>Devil’s Ridge offers an extreme endurance challenge in the southernmost region of the Gobi Desert. This hidden gem offers a spectacular diversity of colours, vast plateaus and mountains. 60 and 30km options are available.</p>
<p>This year, we are proud to announce the 60km category as a part of the Migu Run Skyrunner World Series.</p>
<p>Devil's Ridge will take runners through stunning sand canyons, past an inactive volcano, straight towards the high snow-capped peaks in the distance. Comparatively moderate elevation gain is more than made up for by the relentless desert heat, continuous exposure to elements, and technical trail sections. All runnable, not all easy. Pure desert grit.</p>

http://www.hkrunners.com/node/6287#commentsOverseas racesMon, 15 Aug 2016 08:58:16 +0000hkrunners6287 at http://www.hkrunners.comSuspected Cheating in Chiangmai Marathon 2015http://www.hkrunners.com/node/6101
<p>I joined the Chiangmai Marathon last Sunday and would like to share my unhappy experience.<br />
The organization was not bad. Pick up of race pack was smooth. The start was in order and many food stalls provided after race. The event Tee and finisher tee was great.</p>
<p>However, it got a big demerit, which was lack of timing detector on most of the u-turns. There was only 1 timing mat at around 10k. There were u-turns at around 17k, 22.5k, 26.5k &amp; 30k, but only a hair band of different colour was given at each u-turns.<br />
The race was started at 4am in the dark and there are lots of chances for short cuts!</p>
<p>Although I didn't notice any cheating before I complete the marathon, my friends saw many runners walk to the other side of the road to short cut.<br />
Moreover, as I was started at the front row and not much female participants had overtaken me, I was expected to be ranked the first 8 or below. It was so surprise that I became 15th overall and ranked 9th in my age group!</p>
<p>I did keep an eye on the u-turns to find my competitors ahead. It was found around 5 to 8 ladies only on the way. So there were 5 to 8 ladies appeared suddenly after 30km! One way of the cheaters could be simply run the 1st 10km and last few km as the hair bands were not checked at the finishing point. Another method was the number bib was carried by a male runner and replaced the runner before reaching the finishing line.</p>
<p>Moreover, 2 of my friends who ran the half marathon encountered the same experiences.</p>
<p>Perhaps the prize money attracted those cheaters. However, if the race organizers place timing mats on each u-turns should help!</p>
<p>Since the race organizers failed to post up the official results to the public, I was not able to appeal. I felt a bit disappointed as I had tried my best to run but could not get a fair result.</p>
<p>I had run the other marathons in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket marathon but did not encounter such cheating problem.<br />
Hence, I would like to remind Hong Kong runners to consider about this problem before joining this marathon.</p>

<p>Despite this year Xiamen being a bit of a mess at start and finish i decided to try again , this will be my fifth xiamen marathon .</p>
<p>route has slightly changed again . Back to the old start position outside the convention centre which is much more suited to an international event . But the finish will still be the same as this year which is not an ideal location . But i can always walk the 8km back to the start as a cool down after the marathon ( make up an ultra haha)</p>
<p>this year registration also different . I am now awaiting confirmation of my details before i can pay.....</p>

<p>Netherlands marathon just opened for registration. Full marathon and quarter marathon available. (10.55km, sounds odd but there's logic to it. 10K race time recorded, with last 550m for you to enjoy the atmosphere and final approach! How considerate!)<br />

<p>Have anyone ever run Nara Marathon in Japan before ? I enrolled this year but on second thought, a little bit worried about the low temperature. Typically it is 5-10 C in December. Is this a race well-organzied ?</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice and comment.</p>

<p>From event organiser: We, Nómadas International Group, S.A. (NIGSA), will organize the 3rd Patagonian International Marathon on the 27th of September 2014 in the unpaved roads of Torres del Paine National Park, a designated World Biosphere Reserve since 1978 in Chilean Patagonia. The race will be featuring race distances from ultramarathon (63 km), marathon (42 km), half marathon (21 km) and 10km.</p>
<p>We would like to invite all runners from newbies to veterans to join and elevate their running experience to the next level by participating in the race. As we welcome runners from all over the globe to admire the spectacular view of snow-capped mountains, glacier-fed lakes and the unique wildlife that the region has to offer, we also aim to draw attention to the conservation of the area as well as the promotion of its sustainable development. Each race entry includes a tree donation to Corre y Reforesta, a campaign that aids in rebuilding the National Park from a fire that destroyed almost one fourth of its native forest three years ago.</p>
<p>The first and second Patagonian International Marathon was a success accommodating 356 and 657 runners respectively from Africa, Australia, Europe, North and South America. For the 3rd one, we would like to reach more running enthusiasts and invite them to join us in our race in and for Patagonia. HongKongRunners is a good medium for us to get the word out and encourage runners to take a leap and run with a marvelous backdrop of 3,000 meters of mountains of granite and ice, multicolored lakes and abundant wildlife pushing their limits and reaching their maximum heart rate. By featuring the event in your website, we would be able to get the attention of intrepid travelers and invite them to join us in this phenomenal feat.</p>
<p>A big race such as this will have runners nestled in a stunning environment of granite and ice surrounded by guanacos, pumas, Andean grey foxes, Andean condors and South Andean deer. NIGSA is more than willing to provide you with the necessary information, photos, videos, logos and articles should you choose to feature us in your publication. To know more about the marathon, you can visit our website: <a href="http://www.patagonianinternationalmarathon.com" title="www.patagonianinternationalmarathon.com">www.patagonianinternationalmarathon.com</a>. We hope you would help us spread the word and inspire your readers to embark in an adventure of a lifetime at the end of the world.</p>
<p>Yours truly,</p>

<p>Are any HK Runners looking at the Pyongyang marathon in April 2014? According to various websites this event is open to amateur runners (who aren't journalists) and can be done through an approved tour.</p>
<p>Keeping political views on the regime aside, this would surely be a fascinating experience, if you could feel confident about the safety element. </p>
